STONE HAVEN, Tortola, VI- The District 6 Christmas Carol Competition will take place tonight, December 19, 2024, in Stone Haven.

The competition, organised by Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6) in collaboration with Hon Lorna G. Smith, OBE (AL), begins at 7 PM at the District 6 office.

The Christmas Carol Competition is open to residents of the districts who are soloists, duos, and groups.

Pre-registered participants will sing a Christmas carol of their choice and will be judged based on vocal quality (50%), creativity (30%), and overall presentation and stage presence (20%). The top two, selected by the judges will proceed to the Sing-off which will determine the overall winner of the competition.

$2000 top prize

The winner of the competition will walk away with a cash prize of $2000.00. A prize will also be awarded to the best dressed group. To be eligible for best dressed, Christmas colours must be worn.

Hon Walwyn, during the Continuation of the Twenty-First Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly on December 18, 2024, invited his fellow HoA colleagues, listeners and viewers of the sitting to support the competition.

“We still want to bring a little joy to the people,” he said.

A soiree will also form part of the night’s event and will include free Christmas treats including roasted turkey, ham, tarts, Christmas cake, drinks among others.

    why only district 6 residents or connection to district 6 residents. This should have been a territory wide competition regardless of district. Its good myron focus on his district but come on, other districts would have love the chance.

        (Sing to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

        Verse 1
        Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        Opposition out of steam,
        With not much more to say!

        Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        BVI is on the rise,
        Let’s celebrate today!

        Verse 2
        They tried to sabotage,
        They tried to instigate,
        They plotted and they schemed,
        For progress to deflate.

        But our Premier he stood strong,
        With strategy so great!
        Deputy Smith is gone,
        And Fraser’s in her place!

        Chorus
        Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        BVI is on the rise,
        Let’s celebrate today!

        Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        Opposition out of steam,
        With not much more to say!

        Verse 3
        No-confidence not passed,
        it didn’t stand a chance.
        Premier came prepared,
        With a hundred mil advance!

        Health care on the mend,
        The roads will be repaired!
        Public works moving fast,
        A future bright and fair!

        Chorus (repeat)
        Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        BVI is on the rise,
        Let’s celebrate today!

        Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
        Winning all the way!
        Opposition has no ideas,
        With not much more to say!

      Because he is D6 Representative. The other MoA can do their own thing for their people

      Just like how the District 6 representative chose to do something, other district representatives could have chosen to organize something.
